Round 2: Luis-Scott Vargas vs. Brian Glenn

As I got a glance at Brian's deck during shuffling it became apparent that he was playing affinity. While I did not get a look at what Luis-Scott Vargas (better known as LSV) was playing I assumed that it would most likely include blue spells. Sure enough he confirmed that in the first few turns of his game with his BUG deck that runs Pernicious Deed plenty of awesome blue spells including Standstill and Jace The Mind Sculptor.

LSV was more than happy to play a fourth land a Mishra's Factory and a Pernicious Deed to wipe out all but Brian's Frogmite. The artifact creature was returned to Brian's hand with LSV's freshly played Jace The Mind Sculptor the following turn. As LSV played another Mishra's Factory after a Brainstorm with Jace it became apparent that Brian wasn't going to recover. He conceded to save time electing to see if game two would be better for him.

Both players were working primarily off of the top cards of their deck but with the bigger creatures LSV had the advantage to go aggressive. He sent a Tarmogoyf in once Brian had no action and Brian chose to block with his Frogmite and two Memnites. LSV took out the Frogmite and a Memnite and a Jace The Mind Sculptor came down and fatesealed Brian sending the top card of his library to the bottom.

Attacks with Disciple of the Vault and Memnite brought LSV to 10 but it let LSV take out the Disciple with his Mishra's Factory. This cleared the way for his Pernicious Deed to sweep away a chunk of Brian's board and it immediately earned the concession from the Affinitiy player.
